Design verification testing and quality assurance testing are common test procedures used in the development of a new hardware and/or software product. These test procedures, among others, are generally successfully completed before the new product is manufactured in volume and released to market. Depending on the nature, intended use and intended market for the new product, the test procedures may test the product in a myriad of different ways and in different configurations. For example, the test procedures may functionally test the product to verify that its operating features meet the original design goals for the product. The test procedures may also functionally test the product to verify its compatibility and interoperability with other products. The test procedures may also functionally test the product to verify its compatibility with various software and hardware system environments. The test procedures may also functionally stress test the product under a variety of environmental conditions (e.g. thermal stress, electrical stress and the like) to verify its operation across a specified range of environmental conditions. The test procedures may also functionally stress test the product under different data load and system load conditions. These different types of tests may also be implemented in various combinations.
